This week, we’re unpacking Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, the sci-fi comedy starring Robert Pattinson — now streaming on HBO Max.
But first, we run through all the buzzy announcements from Netflix’s TUDUM 2025 event (0:07)–including first looks at Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein and the highly anticipated return of Wednesday Season 2!
Then, we get into Mickey 17 (31:28)–Bong Joon Ho’s latest mind-bending sci-fi epic. From existential clones to icy world-building, we break down everything that worked (and what left us scratching our heads).
We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (01:37:13).
In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about Mickey 17, and don't forget to like & subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
